GEAPS 541: Developing an Effective Safety Culture at Your Company is a new course on evaluating and improving company “safety culture.” Safety specialists, including Chris Goulart of RCI Safety, lead participants through lectures on what "safety culture" really means, what makes a strong versus weak safety culture, and why practicing safety is always a good business decision. This course brings graduates closer to the Specialist Credential in Property and Casualty Risk Management.

Courses are administered entirely online, and consist of 10 hour-long lectures developed and peer-reviewed by industry specialists. Tuition is $625 for GEAPS members and $795 for non-members.
